1. A hard shift is normal for this model MB, at least until it warms up. If you do a search on this topic, you will find a lot of helpful information. In fact, there was just a thread on this within the past couple of weeks.

I don't think there should be any 'clunk' when warm, especially not from 2nd to 3rd. The gear change is usually quite noticeable under throttle openings, but shouldn't be very noticeable under light constant-load throttle.
I have a feeling all 300TE's have self-levelling (rear) suspension, too.
Stick with the air-cooled over the water-cooled 911's, p-car..!
